Drag out two vector Ellipse's, one small than the other in
the shape and
size you want for your 'C'

With the smaller 'C' on top of the larger one, select them
both (hold down
the shift key)
Go to Modify from the top menu, and select Combine Paths and
then Punch.
Then drag out a rectangle or whatever shape you require and
place it were
you want the gap in the 'C'
Select the circle and the rectangle and 'punch' again. C :-)

Fantastic Peter. You are a star! Learning the different
methods to skin the
same cat between different apps is quite frustrating
sometimes ... but your
method worked flawlessly.

Cheers
Hugh

PS.... great newsgroup.

Great, I'm glad it worked for you, reading it back to myself
I
thought it was less than clear but you obviously worked it
out :-)

I agree learning new apps when you have one you understand is
difficult. I used to own Micrografx Picture Publisher v8, (in
fact I
still do) It was a great programme, but I just wasn't
learning FWs
while I had it on my system. I used to run back to it
everytime I got
stuck. I only really started to make progress after I took
the plunge
and removed it from my system altogether.

Good luck with your future endeavours.

Peter
